Good to hear from you and Merry Christmas (a little late) and Happy New Year to you, too. I've had to stick with words and narrative; it's what I love. Parkwells (talk) 15:39, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Merry New Year, indeed :) you not dong that WikiCup business this year?   >SerialNumber  54129 ...speculates 19:49, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Real life interferes with my Wiki-ing. Oh, I didn't do the full-on WikiCup, just the GA Cup and that was enough. ...It was a lot of fun but I think I'm still recovering lol. Shearonink (talk) 19:52, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Right. At least it's the right way round though; when Wiki'ing interfers with real life, that's when Houston has a problem :)    >SerialNumber  54129 ...speculates 19:57, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Dispute resolution noticeboard in relation to consensus dispute on Non-notable awards
Recently, i've filed a new Dispute resolution noticeboard to address the current consensus dispute on Non-notable awards in the main article of Beauty and the Beast that will rule out a resolution that awards belonging to film critic organizations with direct-linked articles to Wikipedia should be considered as notable awards. You're invited in this resolution to state your reasons. Saiph121 (talk) 00:52, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Not vandalism (w.r.t Talk:Amish)
Hi, I think you reverted a post I made to Talk:Amish? I assure you that no harm was intended. The links really had been changed although I can see how my post could have been been misconstrued. I don't know if it was an XSS attack or something - I checked first to see if anything had been posted about it for wikipedia in general but I couldn't see anything. I've never seen this happen before and I must have viewed thousands of articles over the years. As it didn't seem to be due to simple edit-vandalism I thought I should ask if anyone knew anything about it. I understand that the page that was linked to is associated with a known hacking group but I am still a little surprised that wikipedia's software would have a vulnerability that would allow such a thing to happen. I don't do much wikipedia editing but for example the edits to the 'clockwise' article on 10th July 2017 are mine and I like to think they were constructive changes! No offense taken though. 31.49.249.228 (talk) 23:39, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok, no worries, sorry for any misunderstanding. I just had to get the content deleted from the history - hard to tell people's motivation online eh? Keep on editing - Shearonink (talk) 00:04, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Paige Patterson
Hi Shearonink. I don't know if you'd consider it, but Paige Patterson needs considerable work given all that's happened concerning him in the past month. I don't have the time currently, and would rather wait until the news cycle has run it's course and detailed analyses are published. --Ronz (talk) 18:12, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for thinking of me on this but I think I am in kind of the same boat as you are... I don't want to try to edit it into appropriate shape at the moment - am just trying to keep the POV/hagiographic edits/vandal edits down to a dull roar until things settle down. Let the verifiable facts/truth stand on their own etc.... Shearonink (talk) 18:20, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 6
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hyde Park, London, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hyde Park ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Hyde_Park%2C_London check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Hyde_Park%2C_London?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Further explanation needed
You made a reversion at Lady Diana Cooper with the edit summary Reverted to revision 845410383 by HandsomeFella (talk): Former Violet Lindsay is correct. Please explain what "former" means in this context. You can either edit the page directly or you can tell me and I'll do the editing. Thank you CapnZapp (talk) 07:24, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * "former" in this sense is similar to "née" (definition) or "maiden name" (maiden name definition), it means the maiden name before marriage or the birth name. In the Lady Diana Cooper article it also means the name of the woman before she accepted the title upon marriage (after all, Violet Lindsay wasn't born as the Duchess of Rutland...). The usage is somewhat antiquated but is still accepted "society pages" usage and marriage announcement usage. Shearonink (talk) 15:45, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

All eights coming up
I just saw your WP clock and caught that day after tomorrow, you’ll be at 8 yrs., 8 mos., and 8 days. That calls for a celebration. Don’t overlook it. Hoppyh (talk) 16:57, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
 * How does one celebrate such an event? Is there a special code-thingy or maybe a count-down clock I can stick on my talk page or whatever - I am SO much an editor and not a coder/tech-person...can you tell? - that will automatically throw a Wiki-party without me having to present? I am traveling tomorrow - Thanksgiving week WHAT fun and hate to miss the occasion. Shearonink (talk) 17:57, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Lol...where is or how do I see my countdown clock?!? Have been dealing with a family emergency and my brain is kind of foggy at the moment... Shearonink (talk) 17:59, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
 * neverrrrmind, just found it in my Userboxen... hmmm, I suppose I could post that on my talkopage but I sure would like to have a countdown clock there along with a notice...any idea on how to do that? Shearonink (talk) 18:01, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

A kitten for you!
Thanks for standing up for me. I thought my level 3 warning was kind of too much too. I like editing Wikipedia in my freetime and thought my sources were alright. I don't ever add spam or weird content. Just a fan of Erika Jayne and I always add sources. I wish you all the best and happy holidays!

Reporting IP addresses as vandalism-only
Hello Shearonink. Thanks for helping to fight vandalism. I noticed that you recently reported an IP address to AIV as a vandalism-only account. Please keep in mind that the term "vandalism-only account" can only be applied to registered Wikipedia accounts and not to IP addresses. IP addresses may belong to multiple users and may change owners over time, so they are not considered vandalism-only accounts, even if they have a long-term pattern of vandalism. Thanks! — k6ka  🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 03:17, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello . In my opinion your "notice" to me - complete with the blue Information icon for Templated Notices and Warnings - is unneeded. As a regular I am very aware of Wikipedia policies.
 * Did you see I stated [ exactly ] "Vandalism-only account at the moment"?
 * Did you see that I didn't tick-off the Vandalism-only account box?
 * I very carefully stated in the Comments box what I saw happening with that anon's contributions. Whoever it was that was using that IP address they needed to be stopped at least with a temporary block because all their edits were indeed vandalism-only. Shearonink (talk) 03:44, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thank you for the kind message. I am aware of the 'preview' tab, I just sometimes make mistakes/don't notice certain things and have to go back and make changes, but I'm trying to get better! Thank you again! :) Lilliangish (talk) 07:58, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for advice
Thanks for the tip! The only question that I've got is: do I push it before I start editing, or after I'm finished? This is a new thing for me.2600:1700:7E31:5710:8055:9777:CC7B:F050 (talk) 03:37, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * While you're editing, as you're editing, you've made a change and you want to see how it looks before you hit "Publish changes" just hit the "Show preview" button to see how your changes look. (The "Show preview" constantly saves me from publishing errors and mistakes all the time.) And then when you're happy with your edits, "Publish changes"!

Wikibreak
Hey - I was just about to remove the "not around", and my edit summary was going to acknowledge that you had rightly pointed out that I should not have removed the "wikibreak"! The two templates were side-by-side in the article, and I had mistakenly deleted the wikibreak. After your first edit, it took me a minute to look back and see what I had done, so your second edit got in first. Thank you again for catching this. Jmg38 (talk) 18:23, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Presidents
I didn't meant to be snippy, and that's why I sourced as many of them as I had time for this morning. I just didn't feel two weeks was long enough to allow people to edit. I've seen things go for years. You're right, that article is a trivia magnet and I deleted some trivial entries.

By the way, you should use the 'citation needed' tag for unsourced statements: Benjamin Harrison was a vampire.

The 'says whom?' tag is used more for controversial or unencyclopedic statements: Historians agree that Chester A. Arthur was the handsomest U.S. president of all. Bkatcher (talk) 17:24, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah I know wrong tag for that specific problem, sorry about that. Heh, as you said - most of those statements were/are longstanding entries. I have noticed many/most/all before but didn't have time to go through and individually research how long each one had been hanging around in a reference-less state but I knew they had been there at least for more then two weeks. For instance, these statements were some of the longstanding years-old entries:
 * November 2016: "First president to be a deist." added,
 * January 2018: "First president to be physically accosted (attacked) while in office." added
 * April 2015: "First president to send an email."/"First President to send an e-mail." added.
 * etc., etc. This List does attract all sorts of attention, including fancruft/trivia/vandalism/oh-so-clevers (Abraham Lincoln Vampire-Hunter *sigh*), I'm just trying to keep it in a semi-respectable state defending it from the barbarians at the gate lol.
